Rowdy Racers: From Formula 1 to Formula E

Motorsport drivers are a passionate lot but sometimes they get a bit too carried away

Last weekend motorsport fans were spoilt for choice with a slew of races taking places: Formula 1 in Hungary, World Rally Championship in Finland and Formula E at Montreal; were just some of the top class sporting events taking place.

Formula One: Nico Hulkenberg v. Kevin Magnussen

Renault’s Nico Hulkenberg and Haas’ Kevin Magnussen were battling hard for track position during the closing stages of the 2017 Hungarian Grand Prix. When Hulkenberg tried to overtake Magnussen at turn 2, the Dane opened his steering and ran the Renault driver off-track. After the race, Hulkenberg approached Magnussen in front of the cameras and called him “once again the most unsporting driver.” The Haas driver replied with a “suck my balls” comment.

Formula E: Sebastien Buemi vs. Everyone

The championship contender Sebastien Buemi had a tough time during the last weekend of the 2016-17 Formula E season. The 2015-16 champion was under pressure going in to the double-race weekend trailing Brazilian Luca Di Grassi. After finishing P4 in the first race on Saturday (his result was later on annulled when the car was found to be under weight), Buemi threw a fit and argued with almost everyone who came across him. Grab some pop corns and enjoy the video.
